A model that once served as the cornerstone of a significant revolution\u2014like the Opel Mokka\u2014can hardly be completely transformed by a mere mid-life facelift imposed more by market trends than by genuine necessity, and indeed, that is the case. The current Mokka, an agile and attractive B-SUV, is not only one of Opel\u2019s most successful models but also the car that inaugurated the new stylistic direction of the German automaker shortly after its integration into PSA. In 2018, Opel introduced the Opel GT\u00a0X Experimental concept car, which illustrated the traits of its new brand identity by introducing concepts such as \u201cDetox\u201d and \u201cGreenovation,\u201d distinctive features like the \u201cVizor\u201d grille, and a new interpretation of what it means to be \u201cGerman.\u201d These innovations were soon integrated into the new Mokka and gradually extended to all other models, up to the new Grandland, which updated these characteristics by enhancing the technology level without radical changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Now, the design returns to origins with only minor modifications: Mokka change the bumper lines and receives a new logo in the Vizor, and the luminous signature, updated into LED segments, has been slightly altered. Little else changes in terms of the overall lines, which are further enhanced by the option of a black roof that on the GS version can be paired with an identical hood finish. Inside, several additional innovations have been introduced. Both the digital cockpit and the central display, each measuring 10 inches, have been updated with the new Snapdragon digital platforms from Qualcomm, and a voice assistant powered by ChatGPT has been integrated. The quest for essentialism is reflected in the central console\u2019s buttons, which have been reduced in both size and number to enhance visual cleanliness. The steering wheel has been completely redesigned. It now features a flattened shape at the edges along with new buttons. Also the rear camera is upgraded: now offers an expanded 180\u00b0 field of view.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Finally, there are only slight differences among the various powertrain options: the Mokka continues to be offered with two gasoline engines, one of which with an automatic transmission, introduces a 136 CV hybrid variant, and confirms the electric version equipped with a 54 kWh battery. With the exception of the gasoline engine with a manual transmission, all versions share the same control system, featuring a selector integrated into the central tunnel.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1138,"featured_media":69047,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,98],"tags":[510,1549,2886],"class_list":["post-69054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","category-on-the-roads-en","tag-opel-en","tag-opel-en-2","tag-opel-mokka-en"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-15 23:50:27","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1138"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69054"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69054\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":69056,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69054\/revisions\/69056"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
